When it comes to rock heartthrobs, iconic crooner Chris Isaak is the standard by which all other artists should be judged. Silky voice and shimmering guitar tones? Check. Baby blue eyes and lustrous pompadour? Check. Enough charm and charisma to swindle you out of your savings? Blank check. Starting with his 1985 debut, Isaak has consistently backed up his good looks with serious chops as a performer. Whether he's breaking hearts with "Wicked Game" or casually chatting with his audience, Isaak's talent and magnetism always make for an unforgettable concert experience.
A fan of Elvis and Roy Orbison, Chris Isaak was inspired by his idols, playing the crooner with brio and excelling in the rockabilly ballad. In the 1990's, the singer never stopped having successes, from San Francisco Day to Speak of the Devil and Forever Blue. He also appears in film soundtracks such as Eyes Wide Shut with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, or in the series Friends. After the double tribute album Beyond the Sun, released in 2011, the artist released in November 2015 First Comes the Night shaped in Nashville.
He will open the Festival at the Opera Garnier Monte-Carlo for this new 2023 edition.
